    Killer Instinct MAME abomination rescue

    That janky ass thing... they drilled a hole through the metal of the control panel to have a knob on the joystick/button side. What you see in that picture is a white goo wafer with screws embedded around its circumference. Sticking out a bit further is a little black gear. It was likely used to...

    Killer Instinct MAME abomination rescue

    This rusty coin mech is a pain. Trying to dissolve off all the bolts and metal parts with 50/50 mix acetic acid/water works, but it takes off all the zinc plating and the leaves the hardware dull and not shiney (and it will just slowly oxidize). Its better than all that soda corrosion though. I...

    Killer Instinct MAME abomination rescue

    Thanks for this! I'm still not sure if I want to go for an original setup or try one of these slick PCB cases where I can mount a fan directly over the CPU (https://github.com/emilianoarlettaz/arcade-pcb-case?tab=readme-ov-file). I figure I could get it made when I get the CPO plexi cut.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'd be happy to purchase the marquee light harness if you have it. In total, four harnesses were cut: - control panel harness - monitor power harness - marquee power harness - monitor sync harness For other things on the list, there is a control panel, which has 4 of...

    Killer Instinct MAME abomination rescue

    Ive been stripping the cabinet and wants to verify that these two wire are random junk. Also, is the Killer Instinct power switch really this red switch and not the standard metal stick switch? Edit: also curious, was the back door of the cabinet made of particle board or plywood?

    24K7400 limited use?

    This is what I was thinking, glad to hear it is a viable option. Will do! I'll have to keep my eye open for a compatible 25" monitor. I greatly appreciate the feedback.

    24K7400 limited use?

    I have a K7400 (WGM2474-U4TS16Q) with a 24 inch monitor. The monitor and chassis are immaculate and the picture quality is quite amazing. However, and I feel dumb complaining, but the missing inch of my display bugs me and I'll likely find a 25" replacement. The question then remains, what to...

    Killer Instinct MAME abomination rescue

    I picked up a clean (art-wise) cabinet that will need a lot of love to get bring it back to its former self. I didnt need another project cabinet on top of my other project cabinets, nor do I have the space right now, but it was too good of a deal to pass up. The monitor is a 20 inch flat...

    Operation Wolf basement rescue

    I transported the cabinet to my family's home, 700 km away, where I'll have a garage to do the laminate siding work and painting (beats doing this in a park or something, condo life - garages are alfor the rich in Vancouver!). Did all this just to realize I left my laminate router bit army...

    Operation Wolf basement rescue

    Dichloromethane bath in the sonicator to remove grease and clean bolts: The difference in this bushing (?) between two iterations of the gun piston device: The bottom one has noticeably more play, though maybe this serves a purpose, along with the choice of elastic material.

    Operation Wolf basement rescue

    Finally finished stripping the side artand patching some holes. The top back corners corners were broken off so I replaced then with MDF cut outs and secured them with glue and a pocket screw. The pocket screw was a bad idea in hindsight as it's a small piece of MDF, but more troublesome is that...

    Has anyone used 909 Surfaces laminate before?

    The 909 laminate from woodworkerexpress has free shipping this month, which is quite substantial. Is there any preference for laminate thickness (see below)? I do have concern that the thicker stuff would stick out passed the T-molding. I was going to grab adhesive here as well - is there...
